– Strong family connections
– Career and influence on products I design and support to protect the
American warfighter
– Education and the avenues it has opened
– Financial resources and the ability to pay for both daughters college
and wedding expenses
• Goals
– Graduate with a Masters Degree; potentially pursue 2nd Masters Degree
– Fund both daughter’s through a state college 4 year degree
– Fund both daughter’s weddings
– Buy land before retirement and build dream house
– Die with no regrets (faith/family/career)
Quicken AnalysisQuicken Analysis
• About Me (as modeled):
– Married, 2 dependents
– Combined annual salaries: $176K
– Current effective tax rate: 21%
– After-retirement tax rate: 21%
– Inflation rate: 4%
– Current savings: $32K
– Current investments: $246K
– Total assets: $330K
– Current yearly living expenses: $64K
� Includes weekly charity/tithe, medical and other insurances, living expenses, etc.
• Estimated to have $1.99M in investments at retirement
– Amount to subsequently increase to $2.5M ceiling as spouse retires 7 years
later and pension will supplement other retirement account until my death
On Track for Savings Goals and Retirement
Quicken Exercise Lessons LearnedQuicken Exercise Lessons Learned
• Conducting this exercise has resulted in determination of the following Life Plan needed alterations:
– College funds for both daughter’s are not supportable with standard bi-monthly
savings account deposits (@ 0.75% ROR)
� Contributions to independent savings accounts have been temporarily increased to
support end goal, and;
� An alternate college planning vehicle is being explored to
replace current savings account methodology
� Section 529 Account
� Custodial Account (AGMA/UTMA)
� Coverdell Education Savings Account
– Wedding fund bi-monthly contributions for both daughter’s were not sufficient
for estimated costs for a ‘sufficient’ (as defined by spouse) wedding a quarter of
a century away
� Original goal of $20K/daughter has been increased to $50K/daughter
– 401K was being ‘Maxed-out’ and was reduced to employer match with residual
funds directed into a brokerage account
� Reduce tax-deferred dollars to reduce federal tax balloon payment at retirement

Sensitivity Analysis ConclusionsSensitivity Analysis Conclusions
• No one single ‘perceived negative (or positive) impact’ event degrades life plan to an unacceptable level
• To achieve the best case stacked scenario modeled (#10), current Capital One Savings accounts yielding 0.75% ROR is insufficient
– Other investment strategies with low to medium risk need to be explored
• If the worst case stacked scenario modeled (#12) does occur, sufficient funds will be available to fully fund dependents college and
weddings and to provide a sufficient lifestyle for spouse until her
death
• Path forward Actions:
– Downselect and procure 529 product for each daughter
– Move Captial One General Savings into a brokerage account and
distribute current and future contributions into a diversified portfolio
